Seriously, @MayorMikeDuggan, this is a HORRIBLE decision. The J&J vaccine is "one and done" in that it only requires one dose and its effectiveness at preventing serious disease and death is in the same ballpark as the Pfizer and Moderna #covidvacccine.

Why would you deny such a vaccine to Detroiters, given how many live in poverty and could have difficulty coming back for a second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna
#covidvacccine?Show this thread -
This is the first example I've seen of a politician doing a "get only the best" schtick over the J&J vaccine. I'm just sad that it's

The horrible thing is,
@MayorMikeDuggan, you really should know better. You spent all those years as the President and CEO of@DMC_Heals. Disappointing.Show this thread -
Even though I don't live in the city and can't vote for him, I've supported Mayor Duggan. He's been good for Detroit over the last several years. But, damn, he screwed up here, and he'll continue to screw up if he keeps refusing the J&J
#CovidVaccine based on this "reasoning."Show this thread -
If it were just the 6,200 doses of the J&J
#CovidVaccine, it would be one thing, but Mayor Duggan seems to be signaling that he won't take ANY J&J vaccine shipments for the city.Show this thread -

Agreed. This J&J thing is absolutely ridiculous and emblematic of the problems that currently exist with trying to haphazardly communicate scientific information to the general public.

It is unfortunate how much emphasis has been paid to the differences in the efficacy of the various vaccines rather than the differences in the overall study criteria. This is the result and Duggan is not alone in his ignorance.
